Long Dalila Poems

A GIFT

a piece of your soul
inside a sunken brown envelope
written handle with care
as if I was born heavy-handed.

You've telescoped
my soul once more
in its caravan
on a mountain slope
stooped by a bulky backpack.

It's good you've...

They are what “on” toward  redeeming
And regaining each their respective separate lives before
To one lofty and solid...

Let me introduce myself to you once more

NATURE’S WAY

Once there was a wealthy town
Up north near the China sea
In a hill and forested area
However, the inhabitants were divided tribes
They have a very bad and distinct attitudes and habits
The natives were hypocrites
Crab mentalities

But, I wanted to please Nette

 MORNING DELIGHT

In one clasps of our hands
Suddenly the murmurings
Are becoming warm and intense
As boldness left behind dumbness
As together now we sing melodious
Songs, caressing. kissing, and playfully dance
Till the wee hours which greatly inspired us.

It is men’s  abode, they fight for it
Only to become lethal
Man now without mercy is cruel
We love the EARTH and man is wise
To be a fool, he abuses trees ...

Generally, no kiss does attract opposite
But, necessary of course
For a definite purpose
Like in intercourse 
Kiss is important incidence.

With the same gender it complicates
But, more importantly with opposites.
Nevertheless, for opposites  the more
Kissing is very...

ALL THE PIECES

Fragments and crumbs of life, all the pieces…
That fateful 1990, I left pieces of my heart behind
Without a kiss, I fearlessly rushed to the plane
Full of dreams and promises…

My heart fragmented, nonetheless, I...

SOFT SENSUALITY

While the waiting is nearing
The longing doubly suspenseful
Mechanically or tender make it eager of welcome
Perhaps hugging and kissing
Will never dampen homesickness
Everything in the “kubo” is envious
Every minute a comfort and intimate
Even crickets stop cricketing
And...

DOORWAY TO IMAGINATION

“I open the door and cross the threshold of imagination”

When I was past young
I had a wild imagination
Like a prolific thing
It has passed the qualifying.

An introducing, knowing and the test of loving
Soon yet...

I am bound for home,
 A little after midnight
After an earthly nightly owl,
 Over wines, songs and dances
The wee hours till we adjourned.
While driving in a wooded area
When a sudden downpour
With a big thunder climaxed...

WHAT IS SHE THINKING

"come fluttering words, come drifting words..."

Be natural and sincere
Giving complimentary remark is deadlier
To a Lady especially to a love one
As when you are not cautious
Extravagance of words turns tragic and vulgar
The best...

At the height of celebrations
A couple inched their way out of the crowd
It was near midnight
Away from the maddening and argus eyes of the people  
They found their love nest
Behind the rocky ...

SHORELINE AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

One finger snap
Clicks them into a nap
Or into oblivion when breath stops
Good only at pleasant memoirs at top.

At times we are near
The ambition is there
To journey forever
Neither a long sojourn.

The shoreline where...

LEAVES, LEAVES, LEAVES

Leaves of life
Maybe swaying and it maybe drying
Leaves when green are with life
But leaves on ground can be gone and done.

It’s counted like calendar days
Days, months,  and into a year

RIPPLING STREAM

Like water slowly
But surely…
Flowing agitatedly
From up in the mountain slopes to the valleys
Settling in a ricefield paddy
Thus, setting agri-business happy
And worldwide in joy!

Like feelings mutually
However, carefully…
In a fertilized egg incubately but surely
The convalescingly makes...

BAREFOOT

Literally : shoeless
We think of a thief
Caught flat-footed on the act.
Like Colton Harris-Moore
Who was known as a “Barefoot Bandit”

Barefoot has other interpretations
It can mean young
Having an inexperienced, unadulterated , pristine mind
Possessing triple ‘V’ vision, vim...

Sometimes soft and sometimes heavy
Just as someone deeply in love
Wanted his affection...

For  grandiose  resolutions:
Saving money, spending less,
Losing weight, eating healthy,
Walking, exercising more,
Sharing more precious time with love ones.
Remarkable plans!

Light the fire dear January
Keep the torch...
